Did he say "Djokovic plays aggressive tennis against everybody"? No. He did not, he said "we both play aggressive tennis"; which could mean they both have to switch to that kind of tennis when playing each other because being defensive is ineffective.

You, and your interpertation of Federer's opinion, are out numbered; regardless of your insults!

There are many pros, or as you say tennis experts, who would classify Nole as a great defensive player vs being a 'natural attacker'...

Yes and there are just as many experts who classify him as an agressive baseliner which he is. You cannot be number 1 and win as many slams and many comebacks from match point down if you are a defensive player you need weapons which djoker has.

Try reading...

I and others have stated that Nole has weapons and can and will pull the trigger. However, at heart he is a defensive player nowadays. An aggressive baseliner was a player like Agassi or peak Delpo/Solderling. Nole depends more on defense than those players...

Djokovic is probably a more defensively great baseliner than offensive, but in no way is he just a defensive player. He has very good offense. His groundstrokes can overpower virtually everyone, his returning is superb, he is willing to go to net, and his serve can be a weapon on a good day. Just check his winners stats, other than sometimes Federer, he usually always leads his opponents in that.

This stuff doesn't matter. If the surfaces now were as they were then, we would be talking about different players anyway, because Rafa and Novak wouldn't be doing as well.

In other words, this era against other eras is a dumb argument because the best players on a given surface rise to the top and the surfaces Becker played on barely get an airing now. If the courts had been slower in Becker's time, it's not a question of whether Becker would have adapted, because there's no guarantee he would have been part of the conversation when it comes to top players.

LOL and you think YOU are. Apparently you cant read, I was actually defending Djokovic's offensive abilities by saying he was very good offensively as well as defensively, moreso than others on this thread were saying. So if that apparently isnt good enough for you, what the heck do you want someone to say, that he is even better an attacker than defender. You truly are a blind Djokovic fanatic if that is the case, even his other ardent fans on this forum (the sane ones) like Ripster and Towser and others wouldnt say that. As for what experts think name me one single expert on the planet who says Djokovic is a greater attacking player than defensive one. Good luck, you will need it (barring making something up). PS- McEnroe calling Djokovic the best returner ever does not equate to calling him a better attacking player than defender, sorry.
